i have a plastic table outside and wanted to dress it up a bit. would it be possible to do a mosaic on the plastic table top? and what kind of adhesive would i use?
Go to your local craft store and make sure you get a glue that is for plastic. With most of the below make sure you are in a well ventilated area: Epoxies are a very strong adhesive that will glue plastic very strongly. Check the package to make sure the type of epoxy glue you are buying is appropriate for plastic. It will make a very strong bond. If possible, sand the plastic a bit to give the epoxy a rougher surface to grab onto. This is a good idea with any adhesive. Household Goop is one of my favorite plastic adhesives. It can glue a variety of plastics, including rubber. One of the very handy uses it is known for is repairing rips in linoleum. It is a bit more flexible than either PVC adhesive or epoxy. GE Silicone II is another type of adhesive that works very well on plastics. One thing to note when using this type of adhesive is that, like epoxy, it dries very fast, giving you a working time of less than ten minutes. This one is good for quick repairs!
